Did you have to do anything in particular to use the Bitspower fittings on acrylic or do they work "out of the box" so to speak?

No they are made for it - I used these

Thanks all for your comments. The build is not finished yet and I still can't decide on the colour scheme. Not sold on the white just yet.

Thanks man. So this would be the Black Sparkle equivalent? So how do they work, are they compression fittings? Or some sort of push in fitting? It's hard to tell from the pictures.

Yes - they just have 2 internal rubber O'rings that grip the tube.
If your investing try the following fittings they are really nice to use and work a little more like a compression fitting. I have a few of them and tempted to swap out all the fittings for them

OK - So I think it needs some colour perhaps. Help needed any thoughts?

Going to grab some dye tomorrow and give it a tinker at the weekend.
Brian's got me thinking here and I think the rigid tube OD size could be my niggle. I'm a long way from happy with this build for some reason.

Honestly folks be as Brutally honest as you want if you think it needs something - I'm all ears. I was
Pretty proud of my TJ07 and thinking about putting it back together
 
Got it! Finally found what my issue was. The white tube res caps. Just placed black ones on it now it looks far batter. Will post pics tomorrow when I have some light

Yer, I can see black end caps fitting in better, another thing do Bitspower do tinted tops for the ram blocks? that might fit better also.
Looking forward to more photos!

I thought of black ones for the ram but now I have some colour in the fluid it looks good.

They don't do the ice black ram tops like the CPU.
Finally made a Break through. How goes your TJ?

Still running with no leaks so looking good, got some extra cable so I can make up the last pci-e cable tomorrow, Think I may drain and refill tomorrow. See if I cant get it finished then :)

Those Bitspower blocks do look nice though, just a bit of a pain to get a hold of it seems.

Yep - got to go to our friends in Florida or the Netherlands

Looking forward to seeing your build mate- good luck with it!
 
Not had chance. Mixed a red I'm happy with and sorted my cables (visuals)

Mid plate draft is now done and I can get that away to the laser guy
Need to sort behind the scenes. Although I've made my own cables it's a bloody mess back there! Even with all that space

Just ordered a Demi flex sm8 kit - case labs are great but a real dust trap

Thanks Mole - I put some black rads in when I was having a mess around and it just looked boring without them. I'm really happy with them to be honest. The logo on the midplate will balance it out more too.

I can't help but notice that this post doesn't come with pictures, fix please!

Just waiting for the midplate now so it may be a week or 2 before I get it back.
Other than that all done (for now;)) Still need to tidy up the cable situation but it's not too bad. I don't know why I spend so much time on something you can't see. I hate crimping!
